Strap me to a rocket and launch me at God's enemies, Your Holiness. I am ready for the Woke American Pope's righteous crusade against these heathens.

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

The May jobs report coupled with news footage of empty store shelves will be, uh, interesting.

he's right here in that the volume of orders went up sharply before the tariffs, and so there's probably a few days or so extra there. but that's all!

These guys are absolutely not prepared for what's coming, and it honestly kind of scares the hell out of me. At some point, the administration is going to realize the gravity of ceasing trade with China overnight, and it will be too late to stop some degree of serious pain.

In about a month, maybe 6 weeks, the "the tariffs will replace income tax," moment will be remembered as an all-timer Trumpian bad omen. I mean, we're basically guaranteed a mini covid style supply shock at this point.

Western media neglecting to cover the India-Pakistan situation is a real double-edged sword because, on one hand, I'd really like to know if two nuclear powers are actually shooting at each other and, on the other hand, I'd rather the Trump administration not try to insert itself into that crisis.

All of the law firms, colleges, and news orgs that folded to Trump should have it thrown in their face for all eternity that they bent the knee to a man that is universally loathed. He had semi decent approval ratings for like 5 minutes, and that was all it took for them to cede democracy.

"Approval of Trump's handling of immigration has slipped" Brother, that is a 12-point swing in like 3 weeks. This is the kind of "Oh shit" moment that reshapes the political landscape, especially when it's the only issue your guy had net positive approval on in the first place.

CENTCOM soft couped Hegseth. Don't fuck with America's boats or CENTCOM's ability to drop bombs on sand. (I am horrifyingly embarrassed of my country, but this is incredible content)

It's so incredibly bleak that half the houses you see listed on realty sites are foreclosures, and a quarter more are "part of a portfolio" marketed toward people looking to become landlords.

It seems the Wall Street guys and anonymous White House prevaricators agree that the only think keeping asset prices from free fall is the hope of "deals" even though no credible source says they are close and the president's stated demands are impossible to meet.

Lmao the DOJ is spread thin and already giving prime playing time to guys 2, 3 spots down the depth chart while Harvard is over here looking like the '72 Dolphins off of a bye week. Good luck with that one, Pam.

I wonder if the administration is aware of the ravenous beast that is supply shock that currently lurks in the walls of the American economy? Or are we going to have to wait until store shelves start going barren for the executive branch to acknowledge Newton's third law?

One of the best barometers for how much rural America has shifted ideologically in the last several decades is outlaw country. Listen to the way Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson talked about political and social issues in the, I believe this was the 1990s, but it could be late 80s.

The DNC should 110% be producing WWII style pro-democracy propaganda films and posters. Get athletes and actors to cut promotional ads talking about the value of liberty while sounding like Captain America. Hell, get Chris Evans & Anthony Mackie to tour the country as Captain America. Go all out.

I unironically think that there is immense propaganda value in flooding social media with stuff like this. Just co-opt all the dumb GOP insults and drench them in patriotic symbolism. Bonus points for connecting current struggles to easily digestible ones like "slavery & fascism is bad."
